I recently heard about a term called 'skin coining' and I'm curious to know more about it. Could someone explain what skin coining is and possibly its origins or purpose?

    To facilitate the process, the skin is lubricated to reduce friction and discomfort.

    Coining is a traditional therapy that involves applying pressure to the skin in a linear fashion.

    The strokes are continued until ecchymoses, or bruises, appear on the skin.

    This practice is carried out using a hard object with a smooth edge, such as a coin, jade, or buffalo horn.

    The object is pressed against the skin and moved in repeated downward strokes.
